THE MILLENNIUM 

OR 

THE KEY TO THE SOLUTION 
OF THE WORLD'S PROBLEM 
NO ECONOMIC DOMINATION 



THE DISCOVERY OF THE SCIENCE OF 
GOVERNMENT 

A high intellectual morale is the founda- 
tion of efficiency. And you can't maintain 
a high intellectual morale with a guilty con- 
science. 

A guilty conscience annihilates morale, 
and consequently demoralizes efficiency. 
Efficiency means success, and inefficiency 
failure. What therefore is more important^ 
to the individual than maintaining a high "*X 
intellectual morale? 

Happiness must accompany success, or 
it is no success at all. Therefore, "What 
pronteth a man if he gains the whole 
world'' and loses his intellectual morale? 



How can one acquire this morale, which 
means real success? Everything is simple 
when you discover the right principle. 
Everything in life operates from principles. 
We can accomplish nothing worth while 
without operating from correct fundamen- 
tal principles. 

Seek first fundamental principles and all 
other things will come to you — providing 
you obey the first law of Life, which is 
Activity— WORK. 

A high intellectual morale is attained and 
maintained only when we permit our 
thought, speech and conduct to be domi- 
nated by what we know to be right and in 
these principles we also have one of the 
greatest educational forces right within us. 

The fundamental principles or the key to 
scientific government was discovered from 
the following proposition by common analy- 
sis: 

We know from personal experience that 
GOD NEVER DOMINATES our thought, 
speech or conduct, unless we, of our own 
volition, permit His principles to dominate 
us. 

The analysis proves conclusively that 
NO DOMINATION IS THE BASIC 
PRINCIPLE WHICH SAFE-GUARDS 
THE LIBERTY AND FREEDOM GOD 
HAS GIVEN MAN. 



In other words, NO DOMINATION IS 
REVEALED TO BE THE FUNDAMEN- 
TAL LAW WHICH GOD HAS ESTAB- 
LISHED FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF 

MAN. 

All the sorrow and misery in the world 
that we know of, including the unadver- 
tised woes of the human family emanates 
from just one single solitary fundamental 
error in our existence — Domination. 
DOMINATION IS THE ROOT OF ALL 
EVIL. You suffer from the domination of 
others and from your own sins of domina- 
tion for the sins you yield to are the things 
that dominate you. 

There are countless dominating factors 
retarding the progress of the world. One 
of the chief forms of domination is igno- 
rance — ignorance of the Truth. The Truth 
will set the whole world free. 

In opposing all domination we become 
opposed in principle to commercialism, but 
on the other hand, our principles prevent 
us from interfering with any commercial 
enterprise. But our principles do not pre- 
vent us from teaching the coming genera- 
tions the New Doctrine of No Domination. 
This basic principle will always protect the 
welfare of the Nation, while the new propa- 
ganda goes forward. 



THE KEY TO ALL THINGS HELD 
SACRED BY MANKIND 

The right to life, liberty and the pursuit 
of happiness are not only our constitutional 
rights, but they are sacred privileges by 
divine right. But there is a limit to these 
privileges. 

DEFINING THE LIMIT TO THE 

PRIVILEGES OF 

LIBERTY. 

THE LIMIT TO THESE PRIVILEGES 
IS REACHED THE VERY MOMENT 
THESE RIGHTS ARE ABUSED. AND 
EVERY ABUSE OF THESE CONSTITU- 
TIONAL AND SACRED PRIVILEGES 
ORIGINATES, WITHOUT EXCEPTION 
FROM ONE OF THE MANY DIFFERENT 
FORMS OF DOMINATION. From this 
angle it can be clearly seen that the divine 
principle of NO DOMINATION IS THE 
SAFEGUARD TO LIBERTY. 

It is not only the safeguard to liberty, 
but it is the key and safeguard to all things 
held sacred by mankind. It is the key to 



the solution of the world's problem — ulti- 
mate freedom from all domination and the 
principle of No Domination is the key to its 
own solution. 

Whoever abuses the privileges of any 
liberty; unwittingly conspires against his 
own welfare. Flagrant violation of any 
principle of liberty jeopardizes the individ- 
ual's liberty. Minor abuses of any privi- 
lege may escape the law of the land, but the 
guilty cannot escape the penalties of the 
reaction which inevitably follows the abuse 
of any privilege. Whatever wrong prin- 
ciple dominates the individual to abuse any 
privilege, will dominate and retard his 
progress until that particular vice is over- 
come. 

We suffer from the domination of others 
and also from the sins that dominate others. 
Every sinner starts a chain of trouble. We 
are so interwoven, so inter-dependent in our 
complex economy, that one single dominat- 
ing evil can effect the entire nation or the 
entire world. 

We now have the fundamental basis to 
aid us in distinguishing the difference be- 
tween what is right and what is wrong. 

DOMINATION IS THE DIVIDING 
LINE WHICH SEPARATES RIGHT 
FROM WRONG. Domination is the foun- 



dation of all injustice. Here we have the 
fundamental basis for human laws of 
justice. 

The principles of No Domination gives 
every legislator the fundamental basis for 
constructive legislation. It gives every 
nation on earth a perfect science of Govern- 
ment. It gives every home a perfect sci- 
ence, an infallible guide for scientific home 
Government. 

No Domination is the safeguard to Love. 
It is the protecting principle of Love. 
Love is the feminine — No Domination is 
the masculine. Male and female created 
He them. 

While our constitution is not a perfect 
instrument and will not be until posterity 
rises above commercialism and incorporates 
therein the basic principle of Scientific 
Government — No Domination. Yet, nev- 
ertheless the one single basic principle in 
our constitution, which is the principle of 
Liberty is sufficient to safeguard the rights 
of the people. 

This fundamental principle of liberty is 
the supreme ruling power of our country. 
No state in the union can enact a law violat- 
ing the principles of liberty. Any law which 
violates the basic principles of liberty is 
unconstitutional and consequently can be 
annulled by the supreme court; therefore, 



our constitutional form of Government is a 
Government which governs from princi- 
ples, which is proper, and is not a Govern- 
ment that is ruled by the majority of the 
people, which also is proper, not only prop- 
er, but idealistic. It is the ideal form of 
Government. 

A nation is best governed, just as the 
individual is best governed when by his 
own consent, he permits his thought, speech 
and conduct to be governed by divine prin- 
ciples, wherein the individual and likewise 
the nation to be governed right, must yield 
to a higher power for guidance. 

It is impossible for the individual to gov- 
ern right, but it is not impossible for the 
individual to be governed right, from right 
principles. The same principle is appli- 
cable to a nation. It is impossible for 
100,000,000 people to govern right, but it 
is not impossible for 100,000,000 people to 
be governed right from right principles. 

This is all as it should be, for God has 
never relinquished to any individual or any 
combination of individuals the right to 
rule. There is but one ruler — God. 

The people have never ruled — do not rule 
now and never will. God knows they can't. 

Congress will properly always have the 
right to enact laws by rule of the majority, 
but it does not follow that every law they 



pass is constitutional. Any law enacted 
and signed by the President, which is 
found to be unconstitutional, can be 
annulled by the Supreme Court, which 
all substantiates the new construction 
placed upon the constitution, that our 
constitutional form of Government is a 
Government which governs from prin- 
ciples and is not a Government that is 
ruled by the majority of the people. 



SOLUTION OF THE TRUST QUESTION 

With strikes, lock-outs, and general busi- 
ness depression throughout the nation at 
the present revision of the third edition 
to this work, we are not over-burdened 
with over-production, yet nevertheless, not- 
withstanding these conditions, the great 
menace to the world eventually arrives: — 
Over-production. 

Let us not forget the world's tremendous 
capacity for production. The constant 
menace to the world is over-production. 
Capital in seeking an outlet for this vast 
production is forced to war for commercial 
supremacy, while on the other hand, over- 
production forces labor into idleness, pov- 
erty and wretchedness. Commercialism 
glides the world right into war and blood- 
shed practically against the will of all 
mankind, for man is inherently good. 

There will be "wars and rumors of wars' ' 
just as long as the world operates on a com- 
mercial basis. The world is willing — per- 
fectly willing to have peace — perpetual 
peace — but the world is not ready — not 
yet. A great gulf exists between willing- 
ness and readiness. America therefore 



must be prepared for war, just as long as 
Gold is God of the universe. 

In order to diminish the danger of over- 
production, we must place the power of 
production at a disadvantage. This we 
can do to some extent by throwing the 
throttle wide open to all competition in 
trade without restraint. The competitive 
system is unscientific, and, therefore, re- 
quires more labor for production. 

Among other evils of the Trusts, is their 
splendid capacity for production with a 
minimum of labor, by reason of their effi- 
cient organization. Efficiency is fine, but 
when it benefits a few to the detriment of 
the many it isn't so fine to contemplate. 

Their capacity for production and effi- 
ciency to curtail and reduce labor to a mini- 
mum, aggravates the sore spot in our deli- 
cate economic system. On top of this add 
their intensified domination and you can 
sum up their total value. These big splen- 
did institutions operate too efficiently, too 
scientifically, for our present unscientific, 
unbalanced, unsound, insane economic sys- 
tem. 

All efforts to control trusts through the 
courts have collapsed. This vital question 
still remains unsettled. To permit the 
trusts to operate to the detriment of labor, 
would be an injustice to the masses. To 



destroy the trusts would be an injustice 
to capital. The principles of scientific 
Government operate with Justice to all. 

Justice demands that the trusts shall be 
regulated and the regulating principle of 
No Domination will scientifically settle the 
domination of the trusts. NO DOMINA- 
TION IS LIFE'S REGULATING PRIN- 
CIPLE—LIFE'S REGULATOR. 

Domination of the trusts creeps out from 
various unilluminative spots. They can 
weaken small rivals into bankruptcy and 
corrupt legislatures. They can control pro- 
duction and exact extortionate prices. 
Control of production also means control of 
labor. They are holding up the people in 
broad day light unmolested. The people 
helplessly have thrown their hands up in 
despair. 

In order to protect the small rivals (the 
independents) of the trust, we propose that 
the federal authorities co-operate with the 
independents and fix the selling prices of 
all their commodities, so that these prices 
will be fair to both, the independents and 
the consuming public. The trusts shall 
maintain these prices under penalty. 

The trusts by reason of their efficiency 
reduce the cost of production and, there- 
fore, would be netting a greater percentage 
of profit on every dollar invested than 



would the independents. We propose to 
designate all this increased profit resulting 
from their efficiency as excess profit and 
propose to tax all of this excess profit. 
We maintain that their splendid efficiency 
to curtail labor is detrimental to labor and, 
therefore, propose to reimburse labor for 
this loss by taxing this efficiency for the 
benefit of labor. A fund to be established 
specifically for the individual needs of the 
worthy in time of stress. 

The natural inclination of the people to 
patronize the independents would be neu- 
tralized by the knowledge that the excess 
profits of the trusts revert to the people. 
Popular prejudice would be transformed 
into good will for the trusts, which offsets 
their increased taxes. The protection given 
the independents, coupled with the knowl- 
edge that the people stand behind them, 
takes care of the independents. 



THE EVIL OF FORCING PROHIBITION 
UPON THE PEOPLE 

God commanded Adam not to eat of the 
fruit of a certain tree. There must have 
been a reason why God did not surround 
this tree with an impregnable barrier so 
that Adam couldn't get at the evil back of 
the bar. There must have been a reason 
why God didn't in the first place destroy 
the evil altogether so that Adam couldn't 
partake thereof. And last, but not least, 
there must have been a principle involved 
when GOD DIDN'T FORCE ADAM INTO 
OBEDIENCE. 

The question often asked — If God created 
man good, why isn't he good? The truth 
is that God created man wonderfully good. 
He created man so that he could be good. 
BUT GOD NEVER FORCES ANY ONE 
TO BE GOOD. 

Let us not become confounded with the 
infinite forces that God commands. What- 
ever they are, we do not know. But this 
we do know— that GOD NEVER FORCES 
ANY ONE TO BE GOOD. He never 
dominates your thought, speech or conduct 
unless you permit His principles to domi- 
nate you. In establishing the fundamental 



laws for the Government of man, God in his 
infinite wisdom did not include the princi- 
ples of force or domination. 

Temperance or total abstinence springs 
from individual volition which is in har- 
mony with scientific Government, but pro- 
hibition aims to govern others against their 
consent, which is a flagrant violation of the 
very first law of scientific Government. 

Even to save the whole world, God would 
not violate any of the fundamental laws 
He established for the Government of man. 
These basic principles of Government are 
more sacred than any evil. The LIBERTY 
of a Nation is more sacred than human life. 

A law which would force prohibition upon 
the people would be a strict violation of the 
fundamental principles of Government. We 
cannot sacrifice the basic principles of lib- 
erty for all the evils of intemperance. 

Prohibition is not only unscientific but 
unconstitutional. A law which would force 
the distilleries, breweries, and saloons out 
of business would be a plain infringement 
upon individual rights guaranteed by the 
constitution, besides flagrantly violating 
the principles of liberty which the entire 
nation holds unchangeable and sacred — 
we are therefore, unalterably opposed to 
the evil of forcing prohibition upon the 
people. 



GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF RAIL- 
ROADS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL 

The Government cannot ride over its 
own constitution and monopolize the rail- 
roads. The constitution prevents the Gov- 
ernment from giving any individual or com- 
bination of individuals exclusive privileges : 
Monopolies are unconstitutional. 

The basic principle of liberty is held 
sacred by the nation and cannot be infringed 
upon by the Government, not any more 
than God would violate the basic law of 
Heaven. 

There is nothing in the constitution to 
prevent the Government from buying the 
railroads, providing they all wish to sell, 
but if one little jerkwater road didn't want 
to sell, the Government would have no 
right to force its sale. On the other hand, 
assuming all roads acquiesced and sold to 
the Government, new charters for other 
lines could not be refused by the Govern- 
ment — not with the principle of liberty 
incorporated in the constitution. 

Government monopoly of all railways is, 
therefore, unconstitutional. It might be 



said that the U. S. Mail is a monopoly. It 
is, but, if there is any corporation large 
enough that thinks they can compete with 
the U. S. Mail, they can have the privilege, 
as the Government could not refuse a 
charter with the principle of liberty embod- 
ied in the constitution. 

The contaminating influences of com- 
mercialism are bad enough for the people, 
but a Government that operates from prin- 
ciples which are nearly perfect, will avoid 
engaging in further commercial enterprises. 
While we are opposed to any policy that 
will involve the Government in any further 
commercial undertakings, we are not op- 
posed to municipal ownership of public 
utilities. 

Right here we might as well explode the 
deluded idea that Government ownership 
of railroads would benefit the people. At 
the present writing, in the midst of the 
world war, our Government has wisely 
taken over all the railroads, and while 
sinister schemes and influences may be 
worked in the meantime for various reasons 
to discredit Government ownership in the 
eyes of the people, yet nevertheless the 
underlying principle — Unity of action 
(which is a success principle) would eventu- 
ally and inevitably develop a high order of 
efficiency in their operation, but, this effi- 



ciency consists of nothing except loss to 
labor, as the working force could be reduced 
by thousands. Thousands holding railroad 
positions would be thrown out of employ- 
ment, but the evil does not end here. A 
chain of evil follows. The evil effects 
thousands of others and keeps spreading 
with a far reaching effect, which is gener- 
ally underestimated. 

When we remember that our capacity 
for production exceeds by far our power of 
consumption, it behooves us to exercise 
care in fostering and maintaining conditions 
that will increase and not decrease the 
demand for labor. The competitive sys- 
tem of railroads, like all other competition, 
keeps the demand for labor on the increase. 



THE LAW OF LIMITATIONS 

Activity is the fundamental law of life. 
While activity is an eternal principle, 
man's activity on earth is limited. The 
law of eternal activity implies eternal life 
and indicates eternal activity of the soul. 

What is there that could keep the soul 
eternally active? It must be something 
infinite. What is infinite? Truth is in- 
finite. The search for infinite truth is 
the eternal activity of the soul. But 
man's activity on earth along the lines 
of truth are limited. 

As life on earth is limited, it naturally 
follows that all our activities are limited, 
for if God limits any one of man's activities 
He limits all, in order to preserve unity in 
principle. There would be no unity if 
there were any discrimination in principle. 

On further analysis we will find that, 
in order to establish and maintain a well 
balanced physical and mental structure, we 
must limit all our mental and physical 
activities as well as their inactivities. 

Our waking and sleeping hours are lim- 
ited by divine law. Our eating must be 
limited. We must not eat too little nor 
too much. We must not exercise our 



mental muscles too little nor too much. 
We must not work mentally or physically 
too little or too much. 

If we expend too much mental or phys- 
ical energy we abuse these powers and on 
the other hand, we abuse these powers if 
we expend too little energy. Abuse of 
any power automatically provides its own 
penalty. The laws of God work auto- 
matically and no one can escape the auto- 
matic penalties of the divine law. And 
let us bear in mind that we cannot abuse 
any one of these laws without abusing or 
dominating our entire physical and mental 
structure. 

Everything in life must be balanced. 
All activities and inactivities must be 
limited in order to safeguard equilibrium. 
The scales of life's activities are balanced 
or unbalanced by obedience or disobedi- 
ence to the law of limitations. 

Every function, every power that man 
possesses was created by his maker for 
service — for co-operative and reciprocal 
service — This is divine law and the law 
applies not only to individual units but 
to all individuals as a unit. And every 
power that man possesses is endangered 
by any one flagrant violation of the law 
of limitations. We must seek to safeguard 
the equilibrium of service. 



There are so many essential activities 
that go toward making up a well-balanced 
day or life that God has wisely ordained 
that all human activities shall be hmited. 

The overly ambitious who ignores the 
law of limitations impairs his efficiency 
thus jeopardizing his future welfare. 

The man is wise who recognizes his 
limitations and regulates his activities and 
inactivities accordingly. 

The law of limitations has a well-defined 
border line. God has drawn the line at 
abuse. But He does not prevent abuses. 
Any divine law can be abused but not with 
impunity. If we abuse the law we abuse 
ourselves. We automatically penalize our- 
selves by our own abuse. 

Power — any power if abused, auto- 
matically weakens by the law of God. 
It is a reflection upon the intelligence and 
character of any man who would thus 
weaken his own powers. 

God penalizes disobedience, but never 
forces obedience. God prohibits many 
things, but never forces prohibition. Obe- 
dience and reformation must come from 
within. These things cannot be forced 
by any external power. We can force a 
criminal into jail, but the whole world 
could not force him to reform. 

Obedience or disobedience involves a 



principle that God holds sacred, and that 
is the right of self determination. God 
does not permit any encroachment upon 
this law. The right of self determination 
stands out conspicuously in the first anal- 
ysis — i. e. God does not dominate our 
choice for good or evil. He does not 
interfere with the self determination of 
the individual, whether the individual is 
right or wrong. That is Liberty. 

God could not establish the law of 
liberty and then interfere with the right 
of self determination. 

God places no restrictions whatever upon 
the principles of self determination. He 
simply puts it up to the individual to re- 
strict his own liberties. However, if one 
does not limit or restrict his own liberties 
within the law then the law will do it for 
him, but not until after the abuse has been 
committed. 

They who will not limit their own lib- 
erties within the law, will learn through 
bitter experience the value of self restraint. 

No man can willfully, thoughtlessly, or 
ignorantly violate hygienic laws, or the law 
of the land, or the laws of God, or any known 
or unknown law with impunity. Ignorance 
of the law is no protection. There is a 
premium always on knowledge of the law 
and especially in the fulfillment of the law. 



What is law? The law is right. What 
is right? The law is right. The laws of 
God are always infallibly right, but the 
law of the land is not always infallible. 
If the law of the land is not always infal- 
lible how can the law therefore be right? 
If you disobey the law, you will find the 
law right. 

We are always right in yielding to estab- 
lished laws even when the law is contrary 
to our highest conception of right. 

God knows our laws are imperfect and 
He knew that we would gradually, very 
slowly but surely improve them from time 
to time, but in the meantime during our 
evolutionary progress through the law, 
He wants us always to be obedient to the 
law. Obedience to the law is our first 
and foremost duty. The law is God's 
beacon light for all humanity. 

The law by the grace of God is funda- 
mental. God governs all things strictly 
from principles therefore infallible funda- 
mental principles underlie all things; we 
progress and evolute from principle via 
the law and cannot progress in any other 
way. Therefore — to accelerate progress 
in all things, it behooves every man to 
first seek fundamental principles. 

God's government or God's Kingdom is 
based on fundamental law — on the funda- 



mental law of liberty which is safeguarded 
by the principles of NO-DOMINATION. 
Seek first the fulfillment of fundamental 
law and all things will be added unto you. 
The most vital thing of all things in 
life is to fulfill the law. This should be our 
first and ever present thought, for no 
greater aim can any one have, either in 
this world or in the great beyond than to 
fulfill the law. 



GOD IS OPPOSED TO INDIVIDUAL 
LIBERTY VIA WEALTH 

It would be impossible to conceive of 
anything more sacred to God and man 
than perfect government of individuals as 
well as nations. Government or the laws 
which govern is the chief work of God, 
therefore government or the law is the 
supreme creed of God. Government is 
the creed of all creeds. 

The law and its fulfillment is the quin- 
tessence of perfect government. Govern- 
ment is God's religion. The first and last 
aim of Jesus was to establish God's King- 
dom — God's government on earth. The 
very first advice of Jesus was — Seek ye 
first the Kingdom of God, and his righteous- 
ness; and all these things shall be added 
unto you. His work aimed directly at the 
thing most desired by God and man — 
perfect government. 

Correct government implies unity, co- 
operation, brotherhood. Correct govern- 
ment is not a theory but a science. Co-op- 
eration is not a theory but a science. 
Christ's government of co-operation is still 
an unproven science, but nevertheless 
scientific. 

Faith in the doctrine of Jesus Christ is 
strengthened by the realization that the 



Brotherhood which involves the science of 
cooperation is not a theory but a science. 

The salvation of the human race lies 
in Government and particularly does our 
salvation — our liberty lie in the founda- 
tion of scientific Government. 

Liberty is safeguarded by the principles 
of NO-DOMINATION, which is the foun- 
dation of Scientific Government. 

NO-DOMINATION, which is the very 
first principle underlying correct Govern- 
ment, points a warning finger at the dom- 
ination of the almighty dollar which is 
the God of our commercial life. 

Thou shalt have no other gods before 
me, is not only a command but a law and 
a prophecy that the law will prevail. The 
law will prevail and thus the almighty 
dollar, the false god of the universe is 
destined to pass away by the law of God 
and by no means through any revolu- 
tionary tactics but through the evolu- 
tionary process of the law. 

While God is always in sympathy with 
humanity He is not in sympathy with a 
system which forces us worship the al- 
mighty dollar. We were born in the pres- 
ent system of things, a system not of our 
own making and therein we are victims of 
tradition, victims of a system of the dead 



past, victims of conditions, which we really 
have outgrown in heart, mind, and soul. 

The inner soul is dominated by existing 
conditions, which forces the great majority 
of people to consume all their time, labor 
and energy, chiefly, to feed, shelter, and 
clothe the body. Rich and poor alike 
are making an awful fuss for the mere 
paltry needs of the body. We feed the 
body and starve the soul. We must give 
proper care to the body but we should n't 
be all day about it. The soul craves 
Liberty for development and its salvation 
lies in liberty. 

The inner soul is constantly praying 
for Liberty — for time — for Eternity — for 
life and particularly for Liberty. 

Liberty and progress go hand in hand, 
nothing could be accomplished without 
Liberty, which implies freedom of action — 
perfect health. 

No abuse of any liberty in thought, 
speech, and action is one of the fundamental 
safeguards to mental and physical equi- 
librium. Study the law of Liberty, it 
means everything to the human race. 

FREEDOM OF THE WILL IS 
LIMITED 

The will must be held subservient to 
the principles of liberty. The abuse of 



any liberty is automatically penalized by 
divine law. Flagrant abuse of any lib- 
erty is penalized by the law of the land — 
thus the freedom of the will is limited by 
the law — but not until after the abuse 
has been committed. 

Our basic law of liberty under present 
conditions is synonymous with wealth. 
If you have wealth you have liberty (such 
as it is). If you have wealth, don't 
retire, the act is a violation of the divine 
law of activity. In retiring permanently 
from the field of activity, you hasten 
your death — this is divine law and like 
all divine laws it works automatically. 
Obedience to the laws of activity prolongs 
life. Inactivity implies disobedience and 
death. 

He who seeks his own liberty shall lose 
it. God established the law of liberty for 
all — for all human souls as a unit and to 
be enjoyed only as a unit and never indi- 
vidually. 

The mad pursuit for the almighty dollar 
to secure liberty is only a fancied vision 
of the future — a delusion. The scramble 
for liberty is like pursuing a phantom. 

"He who seeks his own life shall lose 
it." He who seeks to gain his liberty and 
independence through the acquisition of 
wealth, violates three basic laws — The 



fundamental law of life — of Government 
and the fundamental law in the ten com- 
mandments — I am the Lord thy God — 
Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 
These sacred laws cannot be abused without 
loss of power to enjoy life and Liberty. 
God is opposed to individual Liberty via 
Wealth. Therefore beware of the auto- 
matic penalties of the divine law. 

"It is easier for a camel to go through 
the eye of a needle than for a rich man to 
enter the Kingdom of Heaven." 

The analysis herein proves conclusively 
that God has wisely and justly decreed 
that until all human souls as a unit have 
real liberty — universal or national liberty, 
not a single human soul will ever be able 
to enjoy his so-called liberty, attained 
through the acquisition of wealth. 



LIBERTY 

God penalizes the sinner, but He does 
not prevent sin. That is liberty, pure 
and undefiled liberty without any restric- 
tions or any divine interference until after 
the sin has been committed and not 
before. 

The above self-evident truth should be 
sufficient to silence any opposition to per- 
sonal liberty. God penalizes abuses, but 
does not prevent them. He places no 
restrictions whatever upon personal lib- 
erty until after the law has been abused 
and not before. That is liberty. 

Therefore every law on our statue books 
restricting personal liberty is contrary to 
divine law. 

The law of unrestricted personal liberty 
cannot be encroached upon, for the reason 
that the thing in itself is an impossibility. 
What can we restrict? 

The law can place thieves under proper 
restrictions, but the law cannot prevent 
theft. The law can place murderers under 
proper restrictions, but the law cannot 
prevent murder. The law can place crim- 
inals under proper restrictions but the law 
cannot prevent criminals. 



There is no personal liberty that cannot 
be abused but not with impunity. God 
penalizes every transgressor, but does not 
prevent transgressions, by reason of the 
law of unrestricted personal liberty. Per- 
sonal liberty cannot be denied. It is a 
reflection upon any man's intelligence to 
deny personal liberty. 

Every liberty can be abused. Who can 
prevent it? Who is it that imagines he 
can nullify the laws of God? 

The law can stipulate and exact penal- 
ties for violations. The law can place 
restrictions upon any law breaker, but the 
law cannot interfere with the liberty of 
self-determination to break the law. The 
law cannot encroach upon the inherent 
right of personal liberty. And we must 
not attempt to make the law do something 
it cannot do. 

We must instill a profound respect for 
the law. But when we attempt to make 
the law do something it cannot do, we 
inspire disrespect for the law. 

Restriction to personal liberty is not 
within the province of the law unless one 
is a criminal or dangerously insane, other- 
wise there is no personal liberty that the 
law can restrict. True, the law can be 
made to restrict personal liberty, but not 
without rendering the law itself abusive 



and thus dragging the law and the liber- 
ties of the people down into the mire of 
disrepute. 

The liberty to get sick and thirsty is 
still lawful. If you're sick and need a 
stimulant hike hither to the nearest doctor 
and he'll fix you up — providing you can 
afford to get sick twice — or rather thrice 
with the price. 

There is no way in which personal liberty 
can be denied without departing from 
common sense. It is therefore nonsencical 
to establish laws restricting personal liberty. 

Show me a man who doesn't believe 
in your personal liberty and I '11 show you a 
man who believes in his own personal 
liberty. 

The opponents of personal liberty could 
seek until doomsday and they could not 
find a single instance where God restricts 
any personal liberty until after the abuse 
has been committed. That is liberty. 

Evil originally became inevitable for the 
reason that certain sacrifices became nec- 
essary for the eternal plan. 

The evils resulting from ignorance be- 
came inevitable because God could not 
endow us with infinite wisdom without 
infringing upon the law of eternal activity 
for the soul in search for wisdom and 
infinite truth. 



Furthermore, evil became inevitable, in 
that certain sacrifices became necessary to 
establish the law of liberty. 

God conceived that sacrifices would be- 
come necessary in order to preserve the 
unity of principles involving the law of 
liberty. National liberty therefore must 
be maintained at any sacrifice. In time 
of war or in time of peace, human lives may 
be sacrificed but the nations liberty never. 

No matter what individual abuses may 
occur or who may be sacrificed in the 
chain of evil that inevitably follows indi- 
vidual abuses — stand by and hold fast 
for liberty. 

We cannot afford to let our sympathy 
for results of individual abuses of personal 
liberty sidetrack us. We must keep our 
eye on national liberty. The nations lib- 
erty must be held intact. 

Liberty can be established and made 
safe for democracy only through constant 
sacrifices. 

A good score in life is made up through 
many sacrifices. 

A sacrifice hit must be played occasion- 
ally for the good of the team. 

Each member of any group should be 
willing to make some sacrifice for the good 
of all. 



IN REGARD TO GAMBLING 

There is no way in which a law against 
gambling can prevent gambling. 

The law cannot prevent gambling and 
as the law cannot prevent gambling, we 
must not attempt to make the law do some- 
thing it cannot do. We must safeguard 
the law from disrepute. We must jealously 
guard the sanctity of the law. 

There is more wisdom in safeguarding 
the law itself from abuse, than in attempt- 
ing to prevent gamblers from abusing 
themselves or any of their unfortunate 
dependents. 

From a standpoint of scientific govern- 
ment we must permit gambling as a sacri- 
fice for law and liberty. 

It might be said that the law could 
prevent race tracks from operating. It can. 
It is true we must not antagonize estab- 
lished law. It is unlawful to discriminate 
against established laws. Therefore every 
law on our statute books which prevents 
horse racing or gambling at race tracks 
is a law which discriminates against the 
basic law of liberty in our constitution and 
is therefore unconstitutional. 

One cannot conceive how God could 
establish the law of unrestricted liberty 
and then discriminate against the law. 



In discriminating against liberty we dis- 
criminate properly when we restrict the 
liberty of the savage, the violent, the 
insane, the criminal. But to discriminate 
against the liberty of a law abiding people 
is an infamous violation of the laws of 
our God and country. 

It is unnecessary to make any provision 
in law to restrict personal liberty. The 
law is already prepared, fully equipped 
and empowered to restrict the liberty of 
criminals. 

If anyone will not restrict His liberties 
within the law then the law will do it for 
him. If he escapes the law of the land, 
he cannot escape the automatic penalties 
of the divine law. 

The suffering, the misery, the wretched- 
ness, which inevitably follows the abuse 
of liberties, is no argument against per- 
sonal liberty. On the contrary it is a 
masterful argument for the law, for no 
man can abuse the law without abusing 
himself. 

There is only one way in which we can 
preserve unity in all principles involving 
the law of liberty and that is to pattern the 
divine method — let the law of liberty 
reign supreme no matter what personal 
liberties are abused. And His way shall 
be our way. 



Just let us bear in mind that God 
penalizes every abuse, but does not pre- 
vent them by reason of the law of liberty. 
God does not prevent gluttony. He penal- 
izes the glutton. He does not prevent 
drunkenness, He penalizes the drunkard. 
He does not prevent any sin. He penal- 
izes the sinner, He does not prevent any 
transgression. He penalizes the transgres- 
sor. The glutton, the drunkard, the dope 
fiend, the sinner and all transgressors, are 
automatically penalized by divine law. 

The wisdom of God stands behind the 
law of liberty, and His law of liberty 
reigns no matter what personal liberties 
are abused. 

Resist not the inevitable evils without. 
But resist all evil from within. Restrict 
your own liberties within the law and let 
the law of liberty reign supreme. 

The doors of liberty and freedom to the 
nation will be thrown open and thrown 
open quickly notwithstanding the seem- 
ing hopelessness of the present situation 
and the consensus that liberties recentl}' 
lost will not be restored within this gener- 
ation. 

Coming events can be seen and prog- 
nosticated through the discernment of the 
law. Everything is already provided for by 



divine law. Slowly but surely do we grav- 
itate towards the law and its fulfillment. 

God does not establish a law, without 
safeguarding the law. As an illustration, 
God so created us that we would through 
the necessities of life naturally obey His 
laws of activity. 

Thus has God made provision for the 
fulfillment of his laws of activity. And in 
like manner has he created safeguards which 
provides for the fulfillment of every law. 

Every divine law ultimately will be 
fulfilled. Therefore future events can be 
visualized through the discernment of di- 
vine laws, and thus we can get a glimpse 
of the glorious future of posterity. 

No one has a moral or constitutional 
right to tear away at the very foundation 
of our Republic. 

No one has a moral or constitutional 
right to jeopardize the Liberty of the 
nation. 

The Liberty of the nation is more sacred 
than human life. 

The Liberty of the nation takes pre- 
cedence above all human rights. 

Powerful minorities, such as legislative 
bodies have no moral or constitutional 
right to dominate the majority of the people 
by voting away their personal liberties. 



On the other hand, even the majority 
of the people have no moral or consti- 
tutional right to dominate the minority 
by voting away their personal liberties. 

No one has a moral or constitutional 
right to vote away the personal liberty of 
another. 

In other words, in plain language — any 
vote against personal liberty is out of 
order — unconstitutional — unlawful — con- 
trary to the laws of our God and Country. 

A vote against the sacred law of liberty 
is a sin against God and a crime against 
the nation. 

A part of the foundation upon which our 
Government rests has been torn away — A 
word to those who realize the danger — 
work with tooth and nail for national 
liberty. 

The beer and liquor industry have been 
forced out of business — temporarily. The 
loss in revenue to the Government and 
municipalities is appalling, but this entire 
loss is made up by adding greater burdens 
upon the people with increased taxes, which 
is partly instrumental in adding to the 
high cost of living, which shakes the foun- 
dation of every other home. Thus is a 
nation penalized when Liberty is outraged. 
Open the doors of Liberty and you open 
the doors of prosperity to the nation. 



We now have some fanatics who are 
trying to force the tobacco industry out 
of business. The tobacco industry will 
not be forced out. These fanatics can 
take it from me that the tobacco industry 
is here to stay. 

We are not going to stand idly by and 
permit anything of the sort. Prohibition 
is law and we must abide by the law as far 
as liquor is concerned, but prohibition as 
far as tobacco is concerned is unlawful. 
These anti-tobacco fanatics are violating 
the most sacred law of our God and coun- 
try — Liberty. And if there is any crime 
greater than an attack upon the nation's 
liberty it is beyond human conception. 
Therefore let every state in the Union that 
favors personal liberty do its duty. Pass a 
law and make the work of these anti- 
tobacco organizations a penal offense. And 
remember this, make the punishment fit 
the crime. Give them the limit. 

The day is coming, and speed the day 
when we will be able to take each and every 
betrayer of the people's liberty and place 
them where they belong — where we won't 
have to muzzle them — behind prison bars, 
where they will become imbued with the con- 
viction that personal liberty is a good thing. 



THE MASTER KEY TO ECONOMIC 
FREEDOM AND TO THE HIGHEST 
FORM OF ECONOMIC PEACE AND 
PROSPERITY POSSIBLE UNDER OUR 
COMPETITIVE FORM OF GOVERN- 
MENT 



NO ECONOMIC DOMINATION IN 
BASIC NECESSITIES 

Barring the basic necessity, the almighty 
dollar, there are seven cardinal necessities 
essential to life, liberty, and the pursuit of 
happiness. 

The seven cardinal necessities of a democ- 
racy are: Eating, Drinking, Fuel, Light, 
Heat, Transportation, and Communica- 
tion. 

The liberty to enjoy these privileges at 
all times, day or night, seven days in the 



week, is the constitutional right of the 
people. Who can deny that the people 
have a right to no interference with the 
common necessities of life. 

A national law, explicitly stipulating 
that there must be no economic inter- 
ference from any source whatever, involv- 
ing service in eating, drinking, fuel, light, 
heat, transportation, and communication 
will safeguard the fundamental need of 
the people — the ever present need and 
especially the greatest need of the Ameri- 
can people to-day — Liberty — the liberty 
to enjoy the above constitutional rights 
and privileges like freemen. 

Safeguarding the seven cardinal necessi- 
ties is one of the greatest necessities of the 
people. It is fundamental. We would 
thus not only protect fundamental essentials 
but we would also safeguard the funda- 
mental law of government — that which 
is more precious than life itself — Liberty 
— National Liberty. The most funda- 
mental need of a democracy is to fulfill 
fundamental law. Let us seek first the 
fulfillment of fundamental law, and all 
other things will be added unto us. 

Were we to enact this law to-day, safe- 
guarding the common necessities of the 
people, with the constitution in its present 
form, the act would be unconstitutional 



for the reason that it would discriminate 
against the eighteenth amendment. We 
must bear in mind that we cannot dis- 
criminate against established law. 

A principle in law must be carried 
through without discrimination. One of 
the cardinal necessities is drinking. A 
law that would safeguard no interference 
with the nation's liberty to drink, and 
at the same time say what the people 
shall drink or what the people shall not 
drink, would be discrimination. 

We must hold fast to principles. We 
must not look aside from a principle lest 
we see too much for our own good. Such 
dissipation in thought confuses the mind. 

The eighteenth amendment which in 
itself discriminates against the nation's 
liberty to drink, is violating the basic law 
of liberty, in our constitution, and is there- 
fore unconstitutional. But the eighteenth 
amendment is law, and we must abide by 
it. And as long as it stands it will stand 
as a barrier to National Liberty. 

The progress of a nation hinges upon 
the same principles which involve the 
progress of the individual. 

The progress of the individual in any 
undertaking, whether for good or evil, 
hinges upon self-sacrifice. But without 



liberty for development and progress there 
could be no progress. 

Success in any undertaking, whether 
for good or evil is impossible without 
self sacrifice. 

There is nothing in life worth striving 
for that does not call for sacrifice. 

There is no progress in any field, whether 
for good or evil, that does not make a 
demand on Liberty and Self-sacrifice. 

If the selfishness and sacrifices of man 
could be computed, it would be seen that 
man is not a selfish soul, but a sacrificial 
soul. 

The future democracy of America will 
manifest that same Christ-like spirit that 
has its foundation in self-sacrifice for the 
good of all. 

Safeguarding a nation's liberty in time 
of war, at any sacrifice, is a principle 
that is universally recognized. The prin- 
ciple is correct. 

The same unity in spirit for sacrifice in 
time of peace as we manifest in war, can 
make America safe for democracy. 

It goes without saying that we cannot 
safeguard the nation's liberty to enjoy 
the seven cardinal necessities in freedom 
with labor strikes. 

Individual groups must yield and make 



their sacrifices for national liberty and 
economic peace. 

National liberty and economic peace 
are cheap at any sacrifice. Money can- 
not buy them. It is a glorious reward 
for group sacrifice. A sactifice does not 
necessarily entail loss. The welfare of 
the nation redounds to the welfare of the 
individual. 

We must place national liberty beyond 
the power of any group domination. 

Scientific government, which is based 
on the principles of No Economic Domi- 
nation, is essentially, unalterably opposed 
to labor strikes. 

The different inclinations, tendencies and 
propensities of over one hundred million 
people that make up the law abiding 
democracy of America are natural, and 
in view of these inevitable differences, 
we must recognize the inherent rights of 
each and every one. And when we realize 
this, we will recognize that a government 
based on liberty is the only form of govern- 
ment that can fit a democracy. 

Realizing as we do, that national liberty 
must be safeguarded at any price, then 
what subtle argument can avail against 
that which has its justification for supreme 
sacrifice. 

Let us not forget where God has drawn 



the line for all penalties. He has drawn 
the line at abuse — abuse of any liberty. 
Every form of domination, whether for 
good or evil is abuse. Penalties for every 
abuse without discrimination, whether for 
good or evil, are already provided for by 
divine law. 

To illustrate the automatic penalties of 
the divine law and the fact that God does 
not have to watch any one who abuses 
any liberty: If one eats too little or too 
much, or sleeps too little or too much, or 
is mentally or physically too active or too 
inactive, we know from common experience 
that we are automatically penalized for 
abusing any one of these liberties. 

God would not penalize one form of 
abuse, and then excuse some special form 
of abuse. He does not discriminate against 
the law, therefore it can be put down as a 
scientific fact that penalties for every 
form of domination, without discrimination, 
whether for good or evil, are already 
provided for by divine law. 

Every labor strike is a violation of 
God's fundamental law of government — 
No Domination. Therefore every one con- 
nected with a labor strike is penalized 
by divine law. 

The divine law also commands: Six 
days shalt thou labor. No man rich or 



poor, capable of working has a moral 
right to be idle except on the Sabbath 
day. Even then there is certain work 
that must be done. And whatever must 
be done, can morally be done on the 
Sabbath day. 

Reaction follows every form of domina- 
tion, which eventuates in a distinct loss. 
Ignorance of divine penalties imposed on 
every form of domination is no protection. 

Beware of planting seeds for future 
discord, for such are the seeds of domina- 
tion. 

Let us always remember that we cannot 
combat divine laws with impunity. 

If God saw any wisdom in forcing us 
to be good, or forcing others to do good 
unto us, or of enforcing any of His laws 
of prohibition on us, He with all of His 
omnipotent power would have done it a 
long time ago. 

A forced obedience is not the kind of 
obedience that God wants. It is not the 
kind of obedience that the government 
wants, unless for war and destruction. 

God sees no wisdom in any form of 
domination, whether for good or evil. 
Why not trust in His wisdom? Let labor 
unions spurn the wisdom of strikes. Don't 
disorganize your union. There is only 
one union — America. 



Labor need not worry about domination 
from any source. Rather let them worry 
who contemplate domination. Let them 
beware of the automatic penalties of Him 
who is opposed to every form of domination. 
There is no weakness in meekness. "The 
meek shall inherit the earth." 

Outside of the right to dominate the 
liberty of criminals and the insane, and 
the right to use force to safeguard national 
liberty in time of peace as well as in war, 
any form of domination is wrong in 
principle. 

Notwithstanding any argument to the 
contrary, it would be a wise move on the 
part of capital, (as will be shown later) 
to help institute an eight -hour work day. 
A national law to this effect would meet 
with too much opposition. The better 
way would be to leave it to the self-deter- 
mination of each municipality. 

And in whatever municipality the eight- 
hour law succeeds, it must not discriminate 
against the seven cardinal necessities, any 
one of which would have the right of con- 
tinuous operation, with three daily shifts. 

Stores dealing in anything in the line of 
eating or drinking, which would also include 
medicines — drug stores, would have the right 
to operate day and night, including Sundays. 
Side lines would be limited to eight hours, 
if an eight hour law were in effect. 



After the eighteenth amendment is 
repealed, as it will be, it would be optional 
with saloon keepers, whether they opened 
or closed their saloons on Sundays. Saloons 
could not be forced to close on Sundays 
without discriminating against the law. 
Saloons would have the right to operate 
twenty four-hours a day, seven days in 
the week. 

The rights of communication would safe- 
guard continuous service in any form of 
communication, such as the mail and 
newspapers, the telephone, the telegraph 
and wireless. 

An eight-hour law anywhere, would not 
interfere with continuous service in any 
one of the seven cardinal necessities. 

The solution to the complex problems 
confronting America to-day is indeed very 
simple. The law that like produces like, 
not only in man and beast, but in all things, 
and by the law of natural growth, complex 
problems engender cumulative complexi- 
ties. The trouble lies not in the complexi- 
ties or in the multiplicity of the evils 
affected, but in the cause which is chiefly 
fundamental. 

The trouble with America to-day springs 
from just one single solitary fundamental 
evil, which is summed up in the following 
sentence. 



ECONOMIC DOMINATION IS THE 
ROOT OF ALL THE EVILS UNDER- 
LYING OUR COMPETITIVE FORM 
OF GOVERNMENT. 

Prohibit by constitutional amendment 
every form of economic domination, and 
you have the master key to economic 
freedom, and to the highest form of 
economic peace and prosperity possible 
under our competitive form of government. 

Whether we operate under a co-opera- 
tive or competitive form of government, 
God's fundamental law of NO DOMINA- 
TION remains just the same — infallible. 

Infallible guidance awaits only our con- 
sent. The beneficent laws of God which 
are already established and waiting for us, 
become effective only with the consent of 
the governed. This is one of the sacred 
laws of divine government. We cannot 
reap the benefits which God has already 
prepared for us without our consent. Why 
not consent? 

In competition there must be no restraint 
in trade — no economic domination. The 
domination of labor strikes is a very serious 
form of economic domination. Every labor 
strike is also an act in restraint of trade. 
A law curbing illegal restraint of trade 



by any combination can be applied not 
only to trusts, but to any combination of 
labor. 

A speedy solution is needed for one of 
the most serious problems confronting the 
nation, and that is the problem of unem- 
ployed labor — at the present writing there 
are five million unemployed in America. 
The economic domination in forcing the 
liquor and beer industries out of business, 
besides affecting a great many other essen- 
tial industries thereto, we (not including 
myself) forced five million men out of 
work. The solution is clear, repeal the 
eighteenth amendment to the constitution 
and the problem of the vast army of- unem- 
ployed in America is solved. 

Furthermore the repeal of the eighteenth 
amendment means a tremendous increase 
in revenue to every municipality and 
hamlet, as well as to the government, 
which will reduce the present burdensome, 
excessive taxation of the people, and which 
also has a mighty deplorable effect, in 
that excessive taxation exercises a great 
restraining influence on business enter- 
prise. 

Furthermore the eighteenth amendment 
must be repealed before we can secure 
legislation safeguarding no economic domi- 
nation in the seven cardinal necessities. 



A FEW WORDS HERE ON HOW 
TO INCREASE PURCHASING POWER 
OF WAGES. 

No matter what capital or labor may do 
to regulate wages, they do not regulate 
the purchasing power of the dollar. 

But it is within the power of organized 
labor to increase the purchasing power of 
wages, particularly at the present time, 
simply by increasing production wherever 
there is a shortage. 

Increased production means lower prices, 
which means increased purchasing power 
of wages. 

Lay down your arms and pick up your 
tools. Go to work. Increase production 
and you practically raise your own wages. 

With strikes and lockouts production 
lowers, and the prices soar. The poor 
become poorer, and the rich richer, and 
the great majority of the people are the 
goats. The people are paying a constant 
penalty for permitting group domination. 

It is safe to say; The people are ready 
to put the domination of labor strikes out 
of commission. 

A FEW REMARKS HERE ON 
ECONOMIC NORMALCY. 

Economic normalcy would mean eco- 
nomic equilibrium. " 'Tis a consumma- 



tion devoutly to be wished." But the 
thing is impossible under a competitive 
form of government, as will be pointed 
out later. 

There is danger in the extremes of under- 
production and over-production. Low pro- 
duction means high prices and decreased 
purchasing power of wages. 

At the present writing, production is 
too low in a great many lines. Under 
these circumstances, increased production 
means lower prices, and increased purchas- 
ing power of wages. But then if we carry 
this good thing too far, we are again in 
danger with over-production. Over-pro- 
duction not only forces prices down too 
low for the prosperity of the nation, but 
it forces labor into idleness and poverty. 

Under these circumstances the little 
fellow and the big fellow are hit at the 
same time, and the bigger they are the 
harder they fall. And herein lies the 
wisdom of an eight-hour work day. To 
guard against the danger of over-produc- 
tion. 

Capital and labor stand helpless before 
the divine economic laws of supply and 
demand. God created man so that there 
would be a constant demand for supplies. 
A constant demand for production, which 
means a constant demand for activity — 



work. And thus thereby safeguarding 
man's fulfillment of the fundamental law 
of life, which is activity — work. God's 
solution to life and its equilibrium — (for 
everything in life must be balanced) can 
be summed up in three words — NORMAL 
CO-OPERATIVE ACTIVITY. 

God rendered individual equilibrium 
dependent upon economic equilibrium, so 
that man eventually would see the wisdom 
of first seeking the welfare of all. 

Economic normalcy or economic equi- 
librium including individual equilibrium 
is impossible without national co-operation. 

The real truth of the matter is that 
economic normalcy cannot be regulated 
nor established by law under a competitive 
form of government. 

The danger of over-production cannot 
be avoided, as we cannot limit production 
by law, for in competition there must be 
no restraint in trade. 

Nevertheless, in removing every form 
of economic domination we hold the master 
key to economic freedom and to the 
highest form of economic peace and pros- 
perity possible under a competitive form 
of government. 

The psychological effect of economic 
domination is that it fastens upon the 



business world an ever present sense of 
uncertainty. 

What the business world needs is con- 
fidence, that confidence which comes with 
the consciousness of economic freedom. 

The approach to economic freedom lies 
not in the destructive policy of antago- 
nisms but in the constructive policy of co- 
operation in peace. 

At the present writing of this added 
chapter to the third edition of this work, 
co-operation is needed in the tremendous 
shortage of apartments and homes through- 
out the nation. Increased production mean 
lower rentals and increased purchasing 
power of wages. 

In organized idleness, organized labor 
defeats its own purpose. Rather aim to 
reduce the supply of labor to a minimum 
and keep wages up. Keep every avenue 
open for labor. Let organized labor work 
for the repeal of the eighteenth amend- 
ment. The repeal would create such a 
demand for labor that it would deplete 
the ranks of unemployed labor completely, 
and automatically keep wages up. 

Organized labor has never gained any 
real prestige because of its abuse of power. 
Any abuse of power automatically weakens 
by the Grace of God. Domination, with 
its abuse, means disintegration, disorgan- 



ization, not organization. Domination has 
an effective way of its own in working out 
its own destruction. The economic dom- 
ination of labor strikes eventually would 
have destroyed itself. Any from of eco- 
nomic domination is suicidal. 

Let organized labor reverse its policy 
of domination, and power and prestige 
will be heaped upon it. 

Organized labor has its sphere, but only 
as it exercises a moral force and not an 
abusive force, and this can be done only 
by working in harmony with all economic 
forces in the spirit of co-operation. 

America needs immediate liberation 
from economic domination, and liberation 
chiefly from the economic domination of 
labor strikes and prohibition. But the 
eighteenth amendment to the constitution 
blocks the way, and as long as it stands, 
it will stand as a barrier to national liberty 
and economic freedom. 

Therefore: — The supreme need of the 
hour is the resurrection of the constitution. 

After the repeal of the eighteenth amend- 
ment, the passage of the following amend- 
ment to the constitution will mark the 
beginning of the new era. 

Whereas, economic domination is the 
root of all the evils underlying our com- 
petitive form of government, therefore, 



every form of economic domination, under 
our competitive economic regime is here- 
after prohibited. Penalties to be fixed 
by statutory laws. The road then becomes 
cleared for the following proposed national 
laws: 

i. A law establishing no restraint in 
trade — in its full significance — -drawing 
the line at any form of economic domination. 

2. A law abolishing labor strikes. 

3. A law abolishing lock-outs. 

4. A law doing away with price fixing 
associations. 

5. A law safeguarding no interference 
in the seven cardinal necessities. 

6. A commission to be appointed, with 
ample assistants to uncover every form of 
economic domination. 

This chapter is dedicated to the nation, 
to President Harding and both houses at 
Washington, with the prayer that all may 
see the light, that herein lies the key to 
economic freedom and to the highest form 
of economic peace and prosperity possible 
under a competitive form of government. 

Henceforth — America's slogan. 
NO ECONOMIC DOMINATION 



THE MILLENNIUM 

All great things are simple — after you 
get them. And then we wonder why the 
thing wasn't done before. 

To bring about the consummation of 
The Nazarene's idealistic and practical 
government of co-operation may seem to be 
a tremendous problem, but it only seems so. 

The Christ Brotherhood implies co-oper- 
ation. It means universal or national co- 
operation in all activities, with the almighty 
dollar eliminated. It means scientific sys- 
temization of all activities, in order to con- 
serve the labor, the energy, the time, and 
Liberty of the people, with equal hours of 
labor and equal hours of Liberty for all. 

To change our present competitive and 
unbrotherly economic system, to a system 
of brotherly co-operation, without the use 
of money as a medium of exchange seems 
like an impossible proposition, but the solu- 
tion is simple. 

Following is a sample of the small ballot 
for the Brotherhood, which is self-explana- 
tory of the ease in which the change can be 
accomplished. 



YES NO 

jxj □ Brotherhood-Ballot 

In the event of victory for the Brother- 
hood I agree, when the great day is set for 
the inauguration of the Brotherhood to do 
my bit and hold the line fast for Liberty. 
I agree to hold fast to my present position, 
to make no change in places of eating or 
sleeping, to use the same transportation to 
and from work, to give and accept service 
in the same old way and go about my 
affairs as usual, just as if no change had 
taken place. 

In giving and accepting service in the 
customary manner without making any 
change in daily routine, we thus safeguard 
the equilibrium of service. 

If we can hold the line fast for Liberty in 
war, we can hold the line fast for Liberty in 
peace. 

And thus while we are safeguarding the 
equilibrium of service, we can in the mean- 
time scientifically systematize all activities. 

Every necessity of man is already pro- 
vided for by divine law. An omnipotent 
God who whirls us through space every 
night upside down has already provided 
for the equilibrium of service. 

National co-operation is a guarantee of 



its own success. We need not worry about 
establishing faith in co-operation. Univer- 
sal faith in co-operation is already universal. 
Under our form of Government we have but 
to get together at the ballot box and put 
the Christ Kingdom into operation. 

Why the soul-stirring doctrine of Christ 
has failed to inspire the people to the 
Christian life is very clear. 

The fault lies not in the doctrine but for- 
tunately and unfortunately in the church. 

The church aims to bring about the 
Brotherhood of man through the uplift of 
the individual soul or, in other words, the 
church expects to draw all men eventually 
into one Brotherhood by reaching out after 
a single soul at a time. 

Jesus sought the uplift of the individual 
soul by aiming first to establish the Christ 
Government, not only to help bring salva- 
tion to all in the hereafter, but to bring to 
human souls the salvation they need this 
side of the grave. 

The church aims to benefit mankind and 
society in general through the uplift of the 
individual soul who also benefits by the 
process, but under present economic con- 
ditions He receives his reward chiefly in the 
hereafter. 

The spiritual salvation of the individual 
soul depends upon individual effort. But 
co-operation is the only salvation for human 
souls. 



God's law still holds good that each soul 
must work out his own spiritual salvation. 

The church will serve the individual 
soul best, by working for better conditions 
for human souls first. And thus be of some 
assistance in removing the economic causes 
which are driving human souls to hell. 

The church can help save human souls 
but the individual soul must work out his 
own spiritual salvation. 

All the churches in the world could not 
work out the spiritual salvation of a single 
soul. 

The gospel of Jesus — crystallized, stands 
out like God's Kingdom on earth, God's 
Government, the Christ Kingdom, the 
Brotherhood of man, the establishment of 
which was the supreme aim of Christ's 
mission on earth and is therefore the fun- 
damental law of the Christian Church. 

And if it does not become clear to any 
one who reads the gospel that this is the 
fundamental law of the Christian church, 
then they will find in the Lord's Prayer 
the supreme aim of Christ's mission on 
earth which is fundamental and is there- 
fore the fundamental law of the Christian 
church — Thy Government come on earth 
as it is in Heaven. God sent Jesus to 
suffering humanity on the most sacred 



mission conceivable — to establish His Gov- 
ernment. The Christ Kingdom. 

And in the Christ Kingdom there can 
be no violation of God's fundamental law 
of Government which is based on the prin- 
ciples of NO DOMINATION. Therefore 
when the Brotherhood of man shall finally 
be consummated, there will be NO DOMI- 
NATION of the almighty dollar, not two 
gods, just ONE. 

We cannot serve God and mammon, we 
cannot serve two masters and make the 
world safe for democracy. 

For nearly two thousand years the 
Christian Church has been praying Thy 
Kingdom Come — Why not work for it 
as well as to pray for it? 

No man, including the church, fulfills 
the law praying for things without working 
for them. 

The fundamental law of the church is 
no respecter of any Christian church that 
does not fulfill the law. 

Henceforth any church of any denomi- 
nation of the Christian church will find it 
difficult to pray — Thy Kingdom come — - 
without working for its consummation. 

The Brotherhood will be a concrete 
state of harmonious conditions, notwith- 
standing the inevitable divergencies of 



things in the abstract involving ideas, 
opinions, beliefs and creeds. 

Unity of action along the lines of essential 
activities are always possible but unity 
of thought will never be possible, even 
throughout all eternity for Truth is infinite. 

We may become a unit in ideas but only 
when these ideas involve essential activi- 
ties and thus the most essential activities 
leads to co-operation. 

Slowly and surely will we gravitate 
towards the highest expression of co-oper- 
ation which will be exemplified in the 
Brotherhood of man. 

The divergency of opinions, ideas and 
beliefs of the different creeds of the Chris- 
tian Church is natural and in view of the 
inevitable differences of the church, a 
broad tolerance should be exercised, but 
toleration must cease at abuse of the 
fundamental law of the church. 

No Christian church is greater than the 
fundamental law of the church. 

If the waning Christian Church would 
like to know how to fill their churches with 
human souls, then make your appeal to 
human souls and begin preaching salva- 
tion for human souls this side of the grave 
where they need salvation, and quit harp- 
ing on salvation in the hereafter. Jesus de- 
clared: "To-day is the day of salvation." 



Let the church adhere closely to funda- 
mentals and they will see the wisdom of 
fulfilling the fundamental aim of the master. 

The divided Christian church will endure 
only as each church yields to the funda- 
mental law of the church. 

Church unity on the fundamental law 
of the church is the big essential thing — 
the coming thing. 

Let no Christian church make the mis- 
take of believing that their particular 
church is greater than the fundamental 
law of the church. 

Only spiritual souls enter the spiritual 
Kingdom. Human souls won't need Sal- 
vation the other side of the grave. 

Let the church lay off for a while on 
salvation hereafter and blaze the trail for 
salvation to-day. 

All believers in salvation hereafter al- 
ready, believe it. And the balance who 
do not believe in salvation hereafter will 
be more ready to believe it to-morrow if 
you give it to them to-day. 

The Church cannot function with spirit- 
ual souls it must cater to human souls or 
go out of business. 

The church will help the inner individ- 
ual soul best by working for human souls 
first. 

The church with empty pews will find 



its own salvation in preaching salvation 
to human souls. 

The church that refuses to dig into sal- 
vation this side of the grave will dig its 
own grave. 

We cannot hope for unity in creeds for 
there is no unity in creeds. The Chris- 
tian church of the future will be a church 
divided, just as it is to-day but united on 
the fundamental aim of the church. 

The church that wiggles out of its 
foundation will fall. By what manner 
hereafter can any church pray ' ' Thy King- 
dom Come" and still not work for the 
coming of the Brotherhood. 

It is up to the divided Christian church 
to form a Brotherhood of their own on 
the fundamental law of the church. 

By what manner can they even mention 
the Brotherhood of man unless they them- 
selves first fulfill the law? 

There is no escape from the fundamental 
aim of the master. It is up to the Chris- 
tian churches to get together and it is 
safe to say that we will soon witness a 
divided church, but still united, in a con- 
certed drive for the Brotherhood of man. 

And while the red tape proceedings of 
the church is in progress for the initial 
drive, let some independent church make 
a start. 



Only one church needed to make a start. 
And only one church is needed to convince 
other churches of the wisdom of fulfilling 
fundamental law. 

Immortal fame awaits the first church 
and the first minister that will come out 
squarely for the Christ Brotherhood and 
preach the keynote of the gospel that 
co-operation is the only salvation for human 
souls. 

It is safe to say that we will soon have 
the first church in full swing, and then 
another and another and so on, and thus 
the great drive of the church for the 
Christ Kingdom is practically on. 

The solution to the world's problem 
has been reduced to a simple proposition, 
but the hardest part of it all comes in 
right here. The Brotherhood ticket must 
not only carry thirty-six states, but it 
must win in every state in the union. 
It must be a complete national victory. 
There must be a consciousness that the 
Government and the nation are a unit 
for national co-operation. 

Furthermore under the law of liberty, 
we must always recognize state rights, 
which involves the sacred rights of self 
determination. 

A few words here in regard to the neces- 
sity of reducing the hours of labor gradually, 



in order to safeguard the equilibrium of 
service. 

The equilibrium of service at the tran- 
sitional period will be best maintained by 
maintaining the same standard of working 
hours prevailing at the time. Let us say 
the standard is an eight hour day, then 
eight hours work shall constitute a days 
labor. 

Within a year or two at the most, all 
activities should be sufficiently systema- 
tized to justify instituting a six hour work 
day. 

With shorter hours and liberty in full 
swing in every hamlet, the farmers would 
get ample help for the different shifts 
necessary on the farm. 

In justice to overall makers — "Overalls " 
could be limited, but amply supplied. In 
justice to labor all wearing apparel will be 
limited but amply supplied. 

There are two fundamental laws that 
we must not lose sight of — The funda- 
mental law of Government and the funda- 
mental law of life which is activity — Work 
— but we must work together — all for all. 
God created us inter-dependent, so that 
we would have to work together and 
ultimately we will, for this is divine law 
and of course the law ultimately prevails. 



This means co-operation eventually and 
National co-operation in all essential activ- 
ities means eventually four hours work and 
twenty hours of Liberty. 

Competition, as opposed to co-operation 
means rivalry, opposition, struggle, war, 
nation against nation and brother against 
brother. War without and war within, 
war within every human breast in normal 
times of so-called peace. In competition 
there is no peace, but misery, perpetual, 
want, poverty, dirt, squalor, wretchedness, 
crime and insanity. A continuous war- 
fare for the almighty dollar, which domi- 
nates human liberty. 

A league of nations comprising the com- 
bined nations of the earth could not bring 
peace to a world operating on a competi- 
tive basis. The world's present competi- 
tive system, even in normal times of so- 
called peace, is nothing else but a contin- 
uous state of strife. In competition we 
have ceaseless warfare, perpetual war, not 
peace. 

Pardon digression, let us get back to 
the subject. Let us bear in mind that 
an omniscient God would not have sent 
Jesus here on an impossible mission, co- 
operation is possible. The perpetuity of 
competition impossible. The present sys- 
tem cannot and will not endure. The 



things that are wrong are the impossible 
things. The things that are right are 
possible. 

WHICH IS RIGHT? 

Competition or Co-operation? 

Co-operation will not fail humanity, for 
there is no failure in co-operation. Let us 
remember the first advice of Jesus. "Seek 
ye first God's Government and His righ- 
teousness and all things will be added 
unto you." 

Matthew Chapter 6. 
verses 24 to 34. 

No man can serve two masters; for 
either he will hate the one, and love the 
other; or else he will hold to the one, and 
despise the other. Ye cannot serve God 
and mammon. 

Therefore I say unto you, Take no 
thought for your life, what ye shall eat, 
or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your 
body, what we shall put on. Is not the 
life more than meat, and the body than 
raiment? 

Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow 
not, neither do they reap, nor gather into 
barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth 
them. Are ye not much better than they? 



Which of you by taking thought can 
add one cubit unto his stature? 

And why take ye thought for raiment. 
Consider the lilies of the field, how they 
grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. 

And yet I say unto you, That even 
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed 
like one of these. 

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass 
of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow 
is cast into the oven, shall he not much 
more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 

Therefore take no thought, saying, What 
shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or, 
Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 

(For after all these things do the gentiles 
seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth 
that ye have need of all these things. 

But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, 
and his righteousness ; and all these things 
shall be added unto you. 

Take therefore no thought for the mor- 
row; for the morrow shall take thought 
for the things of itself. Sufficient unto 
the day is the evil thereof. 



UNIVERSAL PEACE 

The constantly increasing inventions of 
labor-saving machinery, which eventually 
will reduce working hours to a minimum, 
has not as yet been instrumental in reducing 
the hours of labor, owing to the grasping 
spirit of domination which stands behind 
all commercialism. 

The inventive ability of man is a God 
given quality. This is a divine gift. 
Geniuses by the millions, of the past and 
the present, have sought and are still seek- 
ing expression, but economic conditions are 
against them. Ultimately when the time, 
labor and energy of the people will be con- 
served by the people for the people, the 
God given inventive genius of man will 
astound the universe. Working hours will 
be reduced to such an extent that the word 
"toil" will fall into a state of "Innocuous 
Desuetude." 

While countless embryonic geniuses have 
been forced to stand mute before the econ- 
omic barriers confronting them, a few have 
not lived in vain. The fruits of their labor 
will prove vital factors in demolishing the 



economic barriers that stand between help- 
less humanity and peace. 

It would have been only a question of 
time when we would become swamped with 
over-production, as a result of inventive 
genius, that would plunge both capital and 
labor in despair. Capital would become 
frantic in seeking an outlet, while labor 
would be plunged into idleness, poverty and 
wretchedness, resulting in internal dis- 
orders, riots, revolution and bloodshed, with 
chaos reigning supreme. Evil has an effec- 
tive way of its own in working out its own 
destruction. 

Commercialism was simply gravitating 
towards its own destiny — destruction. It 
was doomed to collapse and no power on 
earth could have avoided the crash. Its 
perpetuity as an economic basis is an impos- 
sibility. 

The principles as enunciated herein neu- 
tralizes the inevitable crash that eventually 
would have been precipitated by the fruits 
of inventive genius. 

Capital as well as labor will see the wis- 
dom of getting together beneath the pro- 
tective wings of the new Doctrine. 

The universal selfishness which appears to 
be in man is not natural. Our entire 
economic structure is based on selfishness, 
which forces each individual to adopt the 



universal trait of selfishness for his own pro- 
tection, when in reality all men are inher- 
ently good, notwithstanding delusions to 
the contrary. 

The confidence we have to-day in the 
almighty dollar will ultimately be trans- 
ferred to humanity itself. The medium of 
exchange — the old specie will eventually 
give way to the new specie — man himself. 
The only thing that will be left of the old 
specie will be the motto. This will be 
planted where it belongs — in the hearts of 
men — In God We Trust. 

The struggle of humanity in a sense is a 
battle for time. 

"Don't infringe upon the time of an- 
other, without giving an adequate return." 

This motto can be applied to almost 
every relationship in life. 

God did not intend that the inventive 
power which He bestowed upon man should 
benefit a few to the detriment of the 
many. It is clearly the will of God that 
the time, labor and energy of the people 
shall be conserved by the people, for the 
people, and not until this divine wish is 
fulfilled will there be peace for humanity. 

What we needed, was just one ideal for 
which the whole world could strive for in 
unity, an ideal that could be embraced by 
all regardless of race, creed or nationality. 



We have it. One ideal, one slogan for the 
whole world— NO DOMINATION. 

Government is a science and there can be 
but one true science of Government, there 
can be no other. The analysis herein 
proves conclusively without leaving even 
a scintilla of a suggestion of a doubt that 
No Economic Domination is the funda- 
mental, basic law of scientific Government. 

From now on the thought of the world 
will oscillate towards two fundamental 
principles. The thought will alternately 
be focused on the injustice of domination 
and the Justice of No Domination. The 
field for thought here is inexhaustible. 
"Seek and You Shall Find" yourself — 
flooded with inspirational and illuminative 
thought. 

SOCIETY EVOLUTES STRICTLY 
FROM PRINCIPLES, and from now on 
humanity will gravitate with a greater 
momentum towards the goal of freedom. 
Freedom from all domination is humanity's 
goal — the ultimate destiny of mankind. 

The doctrine of No Domination will 
gradually draw all men and all nations 
together, until the world will unite in form- 
ing a federation of the United States of 
Nations — One flag for the whole world. 
The millenium as predicted in the Bible 
will eventually be ushered into the world. 



No Domination, which is the key to the 
solution of the world's problem, is the key 
that ultimately will unlock the doors of 
heaven on earth. It is the key for which 
the Christian people have been praying for, 
for nearly two thousand years. Thy king- 
dom come, thy will be done on earth as it is 
in Heaven.
